Policy Group Highlights Trump’s 100 Foreign Policy Wins Amid Global Security Shifts
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new report from Polaris National Security, released Wednesday, chronicles what the policy group describes as 100 significant foreign policy achievements by President Donald Trump since his return to office in January 2025. The document details a series of strategic moves ranging from intensified operations against drug cartels in Latin America to landmark peace negotiations in the Middle East, illustrating a broad recalibration of U.S. global engagement under Trump’s administration.
According to the report, titled “100 Trump Foreign Policy Wins From 2025 the Media Wants You to Miss,” the administration has pursued a “peace through strength” strategy, emphasizing deterrence, alliance burden-sharing, and direct engagement with adversaries. This approach is credited with restoring American influence on the world stage after years of perceived diplomatic weakness.
One of the report’s focal points is the administration’s renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, particularly Venezuela. The U.S. has expanded counter-narcotics operations off Venezuela’s coast, including targeted airstrikes on maritime vessels linked to criminal networks such as Tren de Aragua and the National Liberation Army. These efforts, known as Operation Southern Spear, aim to stem the flow of fentanyl and other illicit drugs into American communities. The campaign aligns with the broader objectives outlined in the 2025 National Security Strategy, which Polaris describes as the most significant hemispheric policy shift in decades.
In a notable escalation, the administration increased the reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to $50 million. This move follows public allegations by Attorney General Pam Bondi accusing Maduro of central involvement in narcotics trafficking. Venezuela has denied these charges. The intensified pressure reflects a broader U.S. commitment to combating transnational crime and securing the southern border, consistent with guidelines from the Department of Homeland Security.
Beyond Latin America, the report highlights the administration’s role in brokering a historic ceasefire in Gaza in October 2025. This diplomatic breakthrough, described as central to Trump’s foreign policy achievements, was accompanied by the release of seven hostages held by Hamas, who were subsequently welcomed at the White House. The ceasefire has been hailed by experts as a milestone in Middle East diplomacy, reinforcing the strength of the U.S.-Israel alliance and advancing regional stability.
Polaris National Security chair Cale Brown, a former principal deputy spokesperson at the State Department, praised the administration’s assertive posture. “President Trump has taken the world stage by storm, reasserting American strength after four years of weakness,” Brown said. The report credits the administration’s efforts with reshaping alliances and confronting emerging threats, including China’s rise, as outlined in the 2025 National Security Strategy.
While the report is an advocacy document reflecting the group’s perspective, it underscores a year marked by rapid and consequential foreign policy developments. The Trump administration’s emphasis on direct action, coupled with strategic diplomacy, signals a distinct shift in how the United States approaches global challenges.
For further information, the Polaris report can be accessed through official channels, and detailed updates on U.S. counter-narcotics efforts are available from the Drug Enforcement Administration. Additionally, ongoing diplomatic initiatives and security briefings are regularly published by the U.S. Department of State.
